The Era of National Emperors

Emperor is a general term given by historians to feudal monarchs. The levels of "emperor" and "king" are different. The supreme ruler of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was called king. After his death, when he was sacrificed, his descendants were called emperor. The supreme ruler of that period called the gods emperor. Moreover, the monarchs of each dynasty wrote the names of ancient emperors on the gods to show their legitimacy or to pray for blessings. Since the beginning of Qin Shihuang, the title of emperor has only been used. During the Qin Dynasty, the leader of a vassal state or a subordinate state was called a certain king. In theory, there can only be one monarch in the world, but there are multiple princes. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
